We will examine both primary and secondary texts, together with evidence from art and archaeology, to assemble a composite view of urban life and the environmental, topographical, political, cultural, and economic factors that shaped some of the most impressive cities ever built, many of which remain major metropolitan centers today.

  Enrollment limited to 29 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  War was a constant for every member of ancient Greek society, whether they were fighting in it, reveling in conquest, or lamenting the aftermath. In this course we will investigate diverse ancient Greek viewpoints on war, which may include techniques of warfare, discussions of Homer’s epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey, and plays by Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes. We will also consider how modern thinkers have used these visions to interpret our experiences of war, as in therapist Jonathan Shay's Achilles in Vietnam and Odysseus in America and the Theater of War project.
2957 CLCV-255-01 Roman Nature and Environment 1.00 LEC Brown, Emily TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM TBA GLB2  
  Enrollment limited to 29 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  In this course, students will analyze approaches to nature, ecology, and the environment within the cultural contexts of ancient Rome. The natural world—the realm of plants, animals, weather, and geological phenomena—was of great interest to Roman artists and authors. Variously depicted as dangerous and antagonistic to humanity and civilization or as an idealized space of comfort and cultural production, the natural world held an ambivalent position in Roman thought, considered both sharply differentiated from and yet vital to human life. As such, nature was central to a number of different realms of Roman culture, which we will analyze in this course: scientific inquiry, sacrificial/religious spaces, philosophical discourses, hunting, dining, and political and dynastic messaging. In addition, student will compare ancient approaches to modern conversations on nature and ecology, including climate and conservation.

  Also cross-referenced with CLASSICS
  Who is the animal? In an effort to explore this and related questions this course will serve as a philosophical investigation into the essence of non-human animals. Major philosophical and political theories regarding the status, value, and autonomy of non-human animals will be explored. Additional efforts will be made to address the discourse of animal rights, animal husbandry, and animal suffering, as well as broader issues of human rights insofar as they relate to and affect the non-human animal. Through a philosophical inquiry into the nature of animality, we will see that our understanding of animals bears immediately upon our understanding of the human being and of human rights. Thus, the question ‘who is the animal’ will lead us directly into the most pressing of philosophical questions – who is the human being?

  An examination of the New Testament in the context of the first century C.E. to study the formation and themes of these early Christian writings. The course will stress the analysis of texts and discussion of their possible interpretations. How did the earliest writings about Jesus present him? Who was Paul? Is it more accurate to call him the founder of Christianity instead of Jesus? How do we understand Gospels that are not in the New Testament? We will attend to these and other social, political, and historical issues for studying the New Testament and Early Christianity.
